Leave it as it is. You can not improve on it. You can only mar it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is keep it for your children, your children’s children, and for all who come after you.
~ Theodore Roosevelt (born: 1858-10-27 died: 1919-01-06 at age: 60) 1908-01-11 on the Grand Canyon, 26th president of the USA.

	David Suzuki	I have known the people at the David Suzkuki foundation, including David’s wife Tara, since 1961. I can vouch they are good people.
	Western Canada Wilderness Committee	I have known the people at at the WCWC since 1985. I can vouch they are good people. They work primarly to save BC’s old growth forests. You might consider sending them your $100 carbon reduction goverment giveaway cheque. You will problably get more carbon sequestered that way than any other way you could spend it.

Glacier National Park in Wyoming used to have 150 glaciers in the time of Theodore Roosevelt. Today they are only 35 left. At the current rate of melting, they will all be gone by 2030. This is not just a matter of higher temperatures, it is a matter of insufficient water.
